If my pH was around a 7 then I would not be concerned with it rising to 8 by adding agg lime in a short period of time. I am no expert but I think you can get to around 8.3+ or - with the agg lime. I would keep aeration going. I would think it would help to disperse the chemical into the pond. And with it being hot here in E. Texas the hot water will contain less O2 than colder water temps so I would run the aeration at night other than to shut it down completely.

Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
